10 Halloween shows to see in OKC, from 'Rocky Horror Show' to an '80s horror double feature

From trick-or-treat trails to haunted houses, Halloween annually scares up an assortment of entertainment options.

For theatergoers, film fans and music lovers, this chilling time of year also means cult-favorite musicals, classic horror movies, costumed concerts and more.

Here are 10 Halloween shows to see in Oklahoma City to cap your spooky season:

1. This Double Feature Sucks!

When and where: 2 p.m. Sunday, Rodeo Theatre in Stockyards City. 

Tickets: https://www.facebook.com/RodeoCinema.  

Organist Christian Pearson will accompany a centennial screening of 1922's "Nosferatu" live on the theater's vintage organ. The silent film will be paired with a 30th anniversary screening of 1992's "Bram Stoker’s Dracula" at 3:40 p.m.

2. Lyric Theatre's 'Rocky Horror Show' 

When and where: Through Sunday, Lyric at the Plaza. 

Tickets: https://lyrictheatreokc.com. 

Every three years, Lyric Theatre does "The Time Warp" again by producing a new version of Richard O'Brien's cult-classic stage experience. This year, they've added a Texas twist with a "Rocky Horror" set in Denton, but the show still includes all the familiar songs, callbacks and adult situations. Lyric is selling $5 prop bags before each performance.  

3. 'Salomé - A Halloween Event'

When and where: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Jewel Box Theatre.

Information: https://fb.me/e/3YUOkp28M.

Grown-up theatergoers are encouraged to arrive in costume and pay what they can at the door to see Oscar Wilde's dark, sexy tale that may sound familiar to Bible readers. The play delves into the exploits of King Herod's court, specifically of his stepdaughter Salomé, who meets an eccentric prophet imprisoned in the palace one fateful night during a party. Her obsession over the man leads to a bloody evening for all in attendance. The streamlined adaptation depicts explicit scenes of violence and sexuality, so the show isn't meant for children.

When and where: Through Nov. 6, Shoppes at Northpark.  

Tickets: https://www.3rdacttheatreco.com.

The community theater continues its fourth season, which boasts the theme "Regenerate," with Heather Meyer's horror-comedy. A satirical take on self-care culture, "Eat, Slay, Leave" follows three busy 30-something women who retreat to a remote cabin but accidentally conjure up frightening supernatural forces with their misguided relaxation and rejuvenation techniques. 

6. Oklahoma Shakespeare's 'Blithe Spirit' 

When: Through Nov. 5, Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Paseo Arts District. 

Tickets: https://www.okshakes.org/indoor-black-box.  

Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park continues its 38th season by moving back into its newly renovated indoor black box theater to stage Noel Coward's farce. The spirited comedic classic centers on a novelist who invites an oddball medium to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to use the experience to inform his new book. Instead, the writer is haunted by the spirit of his deceased yet still temperamental first wife, who is displeased with his decision to remarry. 

7. Haunted House Party with My So Called Band
